Milwaukee police said officers found a body floating in the Milwaukee River behind Usinger's on Old World Third Street.

Police said officers were unable to identify the body, but believed the body had been in the river for a while.

Officials are awaiting autopsy results from the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office before identifying the body.

WISN 12 News' Terry Sater reported that the family of a UW-Milwaukee student missing since New Year's Eve was contacted by police.

Nick Wilcox, 24, has been missing since New Year's Day. He was last seen at the Irish Rec Room on Old World Third Street.

Sater spoke with Wilcox's dad Thursday night, who said that Milwaukee police did call him but would not elaborate on the conversation.

A Milwaukee woman, Estella Currin, was also reported missing this week. However WISN 12 News spoke with a family friend who said the family was contacted but were told the body retrieved from the river was not Currin.
